Chapter 2: To the Demons, Strength is Everything

“What’s that?” I asked, rushing over to the window along with Beretta and Teto.

Meanwhile, the office staff were all frozen in shock.

Looking out the window, I could see a fair number of young-ish demons—mostly devilkin, oni-kin, and minotaurs—insisting that the maid at the door let them in.

“Master only receives visitors who have requested an appointment in advance. Please leave,” she said. “You are scaring the children.”

“Listen, girlie, we ain’t got time to deal with you. We need to talk to Lady Witch about this ‘council’ thing!” one of the demons said.

Behind him, his comrades echoed, “That’s right!”

“Then please fill a report and send it to Master.”

The maid wasn’t budging, and I could see sparks of tension forming in the air.

“We should go see what’s going on before they explode,” I said. “Beretta, Teto, let’s go.”

“Roger!”

“Understood, Master.”

We hurriedly ran down the corridor and exited the mansion through the front door.

I quickly raised my hand to cast a soundproofing barrier around the demons, the maid, and us, and said, “You guys want to see me, right? Well, here I am.”

“You’re going to startle the children!” Teto chided them.

“Lady Witch!” one of the demons exclaimed, a grin splitting across his face. “There is something we need you to reconsider. Please!”

The demons’ eyes were fixed on Teto and me, almost as if Beretta and the maid were invisible.

“Fine, I’ll hear you guys out,” I said before turning to the maid. “You can head back inside now.”

“Understood, Master.” She bowed and returned to her tasks.

Switching my attention back onto the demons, I asked, “I’ve heard you guys yelling about the council system. What’s the matter? You’re not satisfied with it?”

“Not at all!” one of them replied, outraged. “We want to report to you directly. We don’t mind cooperating with those equal to us, but why do we have to negotiate with those beneath us?!”

“And we’ve heard you wanna have that little maid girlie be the head of that ‘council’ or whatever it’s called. We won’t accept that!” another added.

“Damn right! Why do you surround yourself with weaklings anyway? You’re so strong, you should have an entourage full of strong or good-looking people, not children!”

They kept at it for a few more minutes, telling me in great detail why they would never accept the council idea.

“So, basically, you’re all right with reporting to Teto and me because we’re strong, but don’t want to cooperate with the others, as you don’t know their strength and you’d much rather order them around. You also think that my attendants aren’t anything special and that they shouldn’t have such a high position in the Forest’s hierarchy. Is that right?” I summarized.

“Succinctly put, yes.”

At least these guys don’t beat around the bush, I thought.

A lot of the demons were fervent believers in a “might makes right” philosophy and, for that reason, refused to report to or cooperate with people weaker than them. I had observed a similar sentiment among a few of the settlement representatives, but they hadn’t been the majority.
